Well, actually I have a couple of suggestions... Here goes: Maybe we could have a seperate board where new members can introduce themselves. Maybe, if they want to, the captains of ships could change the name of the ship, IF THEY WANT! *Sighs* Again with the captains... Maybe they could add whatever positions on their ship that they want... Quartermaster, bosun, assistant cook, look-out, etc. etc. Again, these are suggestions. Feel free to voice your opinion on them, I will not get mad and hunt you down if you don't like them. That is all.  |

WOW ! I like the ideas !
I'm nothing but an unaccepted member, but I think I personally like the first and last. The second one is a bit confusing, and would cause problems and such.

Ah yes... I better take that out, because then they would spot ships everywhere and soon have an armada of like 100 ships... So scratch the second idea.

The first two I like, and will probably put into action; the third one, I don't know. I think it would be confusing for one ship to have a bunch of extra places on their ship, and another ship to only have the basics. I'll probably add a few of the positions you suggested to all the ships, though. Good suggestions, Fang! |

Yay! Thanks! I feel appreciated! Thanks, Scar! W00t! My opinions may be put into action! W00tness! And yea... I understand what ya mean about one ship having more positions then others and whatnot. Heh, that's cool that you may add some new positions... Oh, and remember when I told you about everything the Quartermaster does?! Well, I finally found the page where it stated that, even though this may not change your mind, Ill let you know anyway. Quartermasters: --protect the crew from domination of the captain --Decided the punishments for minor offences --Commanded the ship when not in action --Supervised any duel between crew --They were the first to board a prize and the the first to go on any desperate mission --Decided what to be taken on a captured vessel --Would ask the boatswain (or bosun) what riggings, sails, planks, etc. etc. was to be needed --He allowed the gunner to choose the weapons --Supervises the distibution of plunder |

Nice. I'm going to create a char just to be a quartermaster; so I can call him The Plunder Distributor. Also, I really need something to do until Skip gets back.

Nah, i wouldn't do that Rid. She never accepted the position. I told her about Quartermaster in a PM, and she mulled it over and she decided not to have it. I couldn't remember everything about the Quartermaster when I told her what they do, so I looked it up last night, and wrote it down. I don't know if she will change her mind, I just thought I'd tell her, just so she'll know.

So what? I could just include it all in his name. I can already see him....
Marvin "Plunder Distributor" Quartermaster, the Separator of Loot, the Divider of Ill-gotten Gains, the Pillage Portioner and the Dispenser of Booty.
Yup, someone has been using his thesaurus.
As an interesting sidebar (at least, to me) according to my online thesaurus, Plunder can also be a adjective, as synonym for rapacious. Personally, I think the site's wrong. Plunderous would be the adjective.
